[quote=Anonymous] My feeling is that the educational opportunities available to children should not be based on the cultural values of the parents. That is a waste of wide swaths of our societal resources. Growing up my parents didn’t think that sports were for girls so they didn’t sign me up for any sports ECs. When I began middle school at 11 there where a bunch of “open enrolment” after school sports clubs available and on my own initiative picked baseball. It turned out I was a natural batter. But I never would have figured that out if it weren’t for public education. I think that school should be year round and open 7am- 7pm and that every child should have open access to beyond grade level academics. I want to end the attainment gap due to outside tutoring, not by abolishing tutoring but by opening it out to everyone. So it’s not only the invested middle class parents kids who have it. [/quote]
